### 2.3. SNMPv2 Management Station

A SNMPv2 management station is the operational role assumed by a SNMPv2 party when it initiates SNMPv2 management operations by the generation of appropriate SNMPv2 protocol messages or when it receives and processes trap notifications.

Sometimes, the term SNMPv2 management station is applied to partial implementations of the SNMPv2 (in graphics workstations, for example) that focus upon this operational role. Such partial implementations may provide for convenient, local invocation of management services, but they may provide little or no support for performing SNMPv2 management operations on behalf of remote protocol users.
